Description
Overview:

This mod aims to improve and overhaul Skyrim's Magic system, in a similar vein to that of LAME for Oblivion.
- More Spells
- Balanced Magic
- Spells that scale with the player
- Magic Skills perk overhaul
- Selection of staring spells

Note that new spells can be found distributed through the world, and can be found in dungeons or at the magic vedors.
All the spells are added to appropriate leveled lists, so you'll have to wait a few days before they appear, and they
won't all appear at once, so keep your eye out!

Any chance bound weapon damage could also scale? They are pretty useless at higher levels.

Where does one find the familiar pack spells, and how to they work with the Myriad souls perk?

Oh yeah, about that, I just added it in recently, though I can't remember whether I uploaded that version yet. Let me check.
Benjy52 Nov 16, 2012 @ 3:53pm 
Waterwalking - Best idea yet. No wonder people looked up to jesus. :D

@woodybob - That means it was a compatibility error. You've got too many mods installed!
woodybob Oct 26, 2012 @ 2:05am 
the problem was when the game started and bethesda games studios comes up just before the menu, when it went off the game exited itself. But it wasnt this mod that messed it up it was the throwing weapon death from afar

@AliTheLord: ... yes, using UHP
